Go: go1.15.8 darwin/amd64
OS: MacOS 11.2.1
The program here <https://play.golang.org/p/Jgx2Ihq5C69> includes a
function with variadic arguments:
func outputStrings(strings …string)
Individual strings can be passed specifically:
outputStrings("foo", "bar")
You can also use an ellipses to covert the content of an array to the
individual arguments:
myStrings := []string{"foo", "bar"}
outputStrings(myStrings...)
I expected that this would work as well:
outputStrings("foo", "bar", myStrings...)
But it leads to:
# variadic
./variadic.go:17:15: too many arguments in call to outputStrings
have (string, string, []string...)
want (...string)
The error message is clear, and easily worked around, so my question isn’t
so much *why* the error occurred, by rather *should* it have occurred? It
seems to me that the format of the function call make it clear and
unambiguous to the compiler what’s being passed.
There was similar discussion here

it was left unresolved.
